Unless it's more dangerous - which it could be as it has not been verified.The word was safer, and of course it needs testing, which is what he intends doing. Read the post.
What a clever DIY to$$er....and I'll bet he picked up that copy of the 17th cheap, probably on eBay.
no idea why people keep adding "Disagree" to this post, you better all write to Vaillant as their servicing instructions go further to class that as perfectly sufficient (as opposed to the weaker "at least it's better than nothing" I stated)Nice post, but I'd say at least some testing is a job within reach of anyone who has made changes to an installation. All you need is a multimeter- If you've added a spur then polarity and CPC continuity at a minimum even if you don't have the ability to check R1+R2 etc.

Agree, but people are disagreeing that it's possible to find faults with a multimeter. Unless all the people disagreeing are 5 week wonders, I'd expect any decent electrician to know how to find most common diy errors on added spurs and lighting circuits.John, your post refers to installing a boiler. It does not refer to making changes to the fixed wiring of an installation.
Changes made to the fixed wiring of an installation require testing with appropriate test equipment.
yes, but the point made was that a multimeter (as opposed to a MFT) is not capable of performing the necessary tests, e.g. IR/loop/RCD/Polarity. it can only measure voltage and continuityAgree, but people are disagreeing that it's possible to find faults with a multimeter.

Thanks for the support both of you. , all the people who pressed disagree were apparently saying that. It's a bit depressing getting them every time i log on from people who don't know what they're disagreeing with. Is there any way to remove my post? As i can't edit to clarify.nobody is saying a multimeter cannot find certain faults.
